Year 5

We have welcomed our children to their new classes today and have got off to a superb start.  Welcome everyone!

Very well done to all of our children who represented school at the Dick Viney Inter School Athletics Tournament. The children achieved 4th and 9th and won many personal medals ranging from gold to bronze. Very well done.

This week, Year 5 have been on a residential trip to York. Their history topic is ‘The Vikings Are Coming!’ In science they are starting to look at the unit on ‘Materials’. It has been a full, action-packed two days; there hasn’t been a spare moment! It started on Monday with a look round the […]

We have arrived after half term with the most amazing home learning being brought into school in Year 5. One exceptional piece of work which was taken to Mr Jones was Bea’s stunningly and unbelievably long Viking home learning.  The work detailed about Viking life and York in preparation for the forthcoming visit to York. […]

Year 5 have been enjoying the weather outside this week; playing Times Tables games outside in their house teams. The speed practise is still essential to keep those trickier ones fresh in their heads! Howgill won the race of filling in the dartboards the quickest.

During the afternoon children and volunteers served teas and coffee and also sold fairly traded goods from Tradecraft.  During the time we sold £91 of produce for Tradecraft and had a a great […]

Included in this, the governors also explored behaviour for learning, school values and breadth and balance in the curriculum. They also had an opportunity to meet with parents on the school yards in the morning.   Five of our Governors spent the […]

This week we have received a loan box from The Houses of Parliament. The box contains various items to facilitate a debate as if we where in the House of Commons.  This is especially pertinent with the General Election and local voting taking place in the coming weeks.

We are hosting a meeting in the music room where parents can meet with Mr Jones for a cup of coffee (or tea). This is a great opportunity to chat about school and the future plans for the school. Please go to the music room (in between reception and nursery).

What better way to end our term than our inter-house sport competition. This term it was tag rugby which resulted in some very close matches. Its clear to see we have some excellent rugby players in school but, just as importantly, everyone showed excellent sportsmanship and teamwork. Very well done to Howgill who won overall. […]
